The European Pirate Party is doing good work addressing this bullshit :)

I wonder if instead of pushing for right to repair, wouldn't it be better to push for the abolition of intellectual property altogether.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Those are two seperate issues really. You can abolish IP but a company could still produce products that aren't repairable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

True, but they'd have to compete against alternatives that are repairable, because the IP no longer impedes that competition.
